Why are hmong people so lazy?
As a Hmong girl myself I grew up Hmong with a Hmong family.
I grew up thinking I was the only person to give a crap about my grades, I worked hard every night, studying and reading and eventually I got my grades up to the maximum which I was proud for.
My cousins in Cali don’t really do anything with their lives. Most of them are just sitting on the couch watching TV or spending all their time cooped in a room playing league of legends or other video games.
What pisses me off is that they have no education and don’t even work, this means that my grandmother just has to work more to support people who have the ability to work but choose not too.
I am furious that my family consistently sways a healthy life style, they choose not to cook our cultures food which is particularly healthy to be speaking. Instead they replace it with McDonald’s and unhealthy junk food which is why most of them are overweight and they constantly say “oh I’m trying to lose weight” but in the end they just result to McDonald’s and unhealthy food. Because of this it is hard to try to stay healthy and I end up eating salads at school because my family won’t get me something other then junkfood.
I feel so frustrated about this, I feel like I’m the only one in my family who gets good grades and study’s hard! I feel like I’m the only one who tries to stay slim and fit, and I sometimes think I’m the only one with common knowledge, my family’s always to lazy to sweep themselves off their feet.
Why isn’t my Hmong family like any other asian family? Parents that force good grades on your, parents that smile at you when you get an A on your test.
Jeesh I kind of even want to be forced to get good grades if it means that I won’t end up with my face at my computer screen playing league of legends.
